Giants prepare for Cowboys showdown as Andrew Thomas and Malik Nabers make strides in recovery

The New York Giants are seeing positive developments in their injury status ahead of their crucial Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Brian Daboll shared encouraging news before Thursday’s practice, revealing that left tackle Andrew Thomas would not only return to practice after missing Wednesday’s session but would also participate in team drills. This marks a significant step for Thomas, who is eager to make his return in this must-win divisional clash.

Andrew Thomas on the Mend

Thomas’s participation in team reps is a promising sign as the Giants look to bolster their offensive line. For Thomas to be cleared for Sunday, he would likely need to practice both Thursday and Friday without setbacks. His absence could impact the Giants’ offensive performance against a formidable Cowboys defense.

Malik Nabers Shows Improvement

In addition to Thomas, wide receiver Malik Nabers is also making strides in his recovery. After being limited in Wednesday’s practice due to back issues, Nabers is expected to take on a full workload. His presence on the field will be crucial for the Giants as they aim to enhance their passing game.

Fellow receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who is recovering from an ankle injury, also returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday. The return of these key players could provide a much-needed boost to the Giants’ offense.

Other Notable Returns and Concerns

Dexter Lawrence, who was excused from practice to welcome his newborn daughter, also made his return on Thursday. However, not all news was positive on the injury front. Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles was held out due to a calf strain, and both Darius Slayton (groin) and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (foot) were added to the injury report, listed as limited participants.
